Message text written by Robert Terwilliger >I wonder how the group feels about opening the forum to allow members to post messages offering items or services for sale, or want lists of things they might wish to purchase.<
If I take my own interests as a guide here I DO think that there will be many who would like to know of opportunities for purchase of various items. The trouble is that I see the market as a bit like Amazon Auctions. The membership of this list is not uniformly interested in ALL things connected with dialling. Thus Gordon Uber is right when he says that he wouldn't like to see too many advertisements. I suspect that all of us would find an intermingled list of messages and opportunities for sale very irritating. After some thought I think my suggestion to Daniel would be to have a separate page (or even a separate list) that allows such sales to be advertised. That way anyone interested can explore the offers and others can enjoy the List without feeling irritated that in downloading today's messages they have somehow wasted their time and money. Maybe the 'normal' list could contain a short header to remind people of the 'For Sale' list? Patrick
